Patent CA-2527487-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERNSTEIN MICHAEL S
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 2005-11-22
Abstract: Described is a system and method by which application programs running on a main computer system communicate with an auxiliary display device (such as a cell phone, pocket-sized computer, alarm clock, television, digital picture frame and so forth) to provide viewable information on the device, remote control capabilities, and notifications. Via API calls, programs provide information in the same format regardless of the device capabilities and/or the connection type. An auxiliary display platform converts the information into a format understood by a device driver, which then filters the information as desired for its particular hardware device before the information is communicated. Return communications return data such as status and user interaction with the displayed information. Software vendors may thus write code once to output information on auxiliary displays, while hardware manufacturers can have their devices work as auxiliary displays, with little or no modification to existing hardware.

Title: Contoured, reinforced and adjustable seat cushion and method for offloading pressure from skeletal bone prominences and encouraging proper postural alignment
Inventor: MAURUS STEVE
IPC: A47C7/02
Filed: 2004-07-26
Abstract: A support contour of a cushion, such as a wheelchair cushion, defines relief areas at locations adjacent to skin covering the ischial tuberosities, the greater trochanters and the coccyx and sacrum of a person sitting on the support contour. Support areas of the support contour transfer force into the pelvic area adjacent to skin covering tissue masses on opposite lateral sides of the posterior buttocks and beneath the proximal thighs of the person. Risks of pressure ulcers from pressure and shear forces on bony prominences is reduced while providing support at the broader areas without bony prominences in such a manner to encourage postural alignment. A support member attached to a rear corner of the cushion is retained to resist deformation of the support contour from contact with the person and to adjust the support contour for better support of the pelvic area.

Title: Cashless payment system
Inventor: CHEN GRACE
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A payment system that does not rely on credit or debit cards, does not require the merchant and purchaser to have compatible memberships to complete a transaction, and does not limit single transactions to a single account provides a wide range of flexibility permitting debit, credit, pre-paid and payroll cards to be accommodated in a seamless and invisible manner to the electronic transaction network. The transaction may be verified and approved at the point-of-sale whether or not the merchant is a member of a specific financial transaction system. Specifically, the point-of-sale transaction system permits an identified customer to use any of a variety of payment options to complete the transaction without requiring the merchant to pre-approve the type of payment selected by the customer. In one configuration, and in order to take advantage of the widespread use of the ATM/POS network, the invention uses a typical credit/debit card format to provide the identifying information in a stored value card. When a transaction is to be completed, the user enters the identifying information carried on the card at the point-of-sale. This can be a merchant or other service provider at a retail establishment, or on-line while the user is logged onto a web site, or other location. The information can be swiped by a card reader, or manually entered via a keyboard or other input device. The system supports a wide range of flexibility, permitting issuing systems such as parents and state welfare agencies to restrict the types of authorized uses, and permitting users to access accounts in a prioritized manner. Further, the accepting merchant is not required to be a member because settlement with the merchant may be made via the Federal Reserve Automatic Clearing House (ACH) system by typical and standard electronic transfer. This permits the merchant to take advantage of the lower ACH transaction fees with even greater convenience and flexibility than the current ATM/POS system. The system supports numerous types of identification methods from typical credit card structures with magnetic data strips to various biometric systems such as finger prints, facial recognition and the like. Specifically, once the user is identified, the transaction is managed by his membership data on record with the transaction processing system.

Abstract: A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes apace diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same apace block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.

Title: Exhaust gas control in an engine having a two-stage turbocharger
Inventor: BALEKAI PRIYANKAR S
IPC: F02D23/00
Filed: 2004-09-28
Abstract: A control system (58) for controlling the extent to which a valve (50) selectively bypasses exhaust flow around one of two turbines (18T, 20T) in an engine exhaust system (14). A desired set-point (TCBC_DES) and the actual set-point (EBP_KPG) of operation of the valve are used to develop a set-point error (TCBC_ERR) for closed-loop control of the actual set-point (EBP_KPG). A  data value for closed-loop gain (KP, KI) is selected from a schedule (164, 166) based on engine speed (N) and fueling (MFDES). The selected data values of closed-loop gain (KP, KI) and the set-point error data value (TCBC_ERR) are used to create a data value for a closed-loop output (TCBC_DTY_P, TCBC_DTY_I) that is used along with a feed forward parameter (TCBC_DTY_FF) to create a data value for a final output (TCBC_DTY_PIF) for forcing the actual set-point (EBP_KPG) to the desired set-point (TCBC_DES).

Title: Evaluating the position of a time-varying disturbance
Inventor: SIKORA EDMUND SERGIO ROBERT
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for evaluating the position of a disturbance on an optical link, in particular where the disturbance is a time-varying disturbance. An optical time domain reflectometry technique is used in which a series of low coherence test pulses is launched by means of an optical pulse source (18) into an the optical link (16), and the backscattered return signal is monitored. The test pulses pass through an unbalanced Mach Zhender interferometer (20) with the result that for each test pulse, a pair of time-displaced pulse copies is launched onto the link (16). The backscattered return signal is passed through the same interferometer (20), which causes the pulse copes of each pair to become realigned and to interfere with one another. A time-varying disturbance (x) is likely to affect each pulse copy of a pair differently. As a result, an abnormality such as a step is likely occur in the backscattered signal. From the time position of an abnormality, the distance of the disturbance responsible is evaluated.
